Periodontal findings in a patient with Dimorphic anaemia

Abstract

Dimorphic anaemia can present itself with deficiency of more than one nutrients. The blood picture shows the presence of morphologically different red blood cells. The cause of dimorphic anaemia has to be established in order to systematically manage the patient. Combined deficiency of iron and folic acid more commonly lead to dimorphic anaemia with clinical features of both forms of anaemia. The aim of this paper is to report a rare finding of periodontal involvement in a patient with dimorphic anaemia
